Zooanthid on my xeinia what to do?

blacksnake1986 · Feb 1, 2014

I have a pulsing xeinia it came with a attractive looking zooanthid growing on the side of the xeinia stalk. I would like to seperate them and put the zooanthid on a rock of its own. Should I just cut if off with a razor at its base? Then superglue to rock? Also I have some green star polyp I would like to get started on my back glass should I just cut off a peice and superglue gel it to the back glass or do I need some other reef epoxy. Just wanted some input before I mess something up.

The GSP you can do anything with and it won't die. I would just use some super glue and stick it on. As for the zoa I wouldn't cut the zoa but I would cut the xeinia. There a hardy coral and will bounce back but you may want to wait till there's a few more stalks of the xeinia.

I guess I should have said its at the base instead of on a stalk so you think I would be ok just taking a little xeinia with it when I cut it?

Cut the xenia away, as much as possible to eliminate a quick regrowth lol.

Idk you know people say that they do good in your tank or they don't mine stay closed a lot and they stopped pulsing for some reason I have moved them around to try and find there happy place but they still don't look happy. My gsp is doing great and growing. I have another test kit on the way that test for phosphates calcium ect Maby the problem is there.
